He continued: “I am posting this, because on a professional level, some things have to change – appearance, negatives and work in general have to take a back seat to treatment.” “My plan is to do as well as I can over the summer so I can tour with my new movie ‘Ernie & Emma’ this fall.”
Bruce added that he’s had to cancel “a lot of negatives this year, and I feel very sorry for my part. Therapy needs and professional commitments don’t always go hand in hand. That’s all. I’m not trying to get sympathy – or advice – I just want to get ahead of this in case false information comes out (which it will). Fear not, I’m a burly son of a bitch with great support, so I expect to be around for a while. As always, you’re the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!”
